Ever since he assembled the villain system, Zhou Yun Sheng has successively bought many more parts and plans to make some more practical models. Some parts were not available on the market, so Xue Zi Xuan directly ordered several machine tools for him and had them sent to the Xue Manor, which indirectly led to the repeated expansion of the garage.
Xue Rui's prestige in the company continued to decline. His good son not only won over a majority of the company's elite backbone, but he also took advantage of Xue Yan's financial crisis to acquire a heavy machinery manufacturing company under his banner.
This was related to Huang Yi who was currently studying mechanics on his own. It was clear that this generous merger and acquisition was for the boy.
The entire Xue family was in a state of being suppressed by a low pressure. Xue Rui greatly regretted it. If he had known earlier that his son would be so ruthless and domineering when doing things and turn him into a figurehead as soon as he stepped on the business world stage, then he would have never made him retire from the music stage.
Xue Li Dan Ni was also dissatisfied. Anyone who got home after getting off the plane only to find that their favorite greenhouse has been demolished and transformed into a workshop would be in a state of collapse.
She stood at the door of the workshop and scowled. The little bastard didn't speak a word to her, didn't give her a single glance, and just turned on the rumbling machine tool, drowning out her voice and making her powerless from head to toe.
Her proper upbringing restricted her from rushing over there and trying to tear the boy apart with her bare hands. She could only grit her teeth and leave.
She waited for her son to get off work and immediately went to the entrance to ask him: "Why did you tear down my greenhouse?"
"I'll have a new one built for you." Xue Zi Xuan said casually as he bent over and changed his shoes. "I had the gardener move your flowers to the eastern flowerbed. Currently, they're well taken care of. I took a fancy to a building under construction, Royal Court, have you heard of it?"
Xue Li Dan Ni calmed down at her son's breezy attitude and nodded.
"I've heard of it. It's in the southern suburbs. The villa area is near the mountains and by the water. The environment is very good."
"It's good as long as you like it. I have already bought Building 1 in Block A. This is the key. It has a swimming pool, back garden, glass greenhouse, and piano room. If you have time soon, pack up and move there to live with Father."
He had originally prepared this house for himself and his teenager, but since Xue Yan no longer posed a threat, it was more convenient to live here. At least the space here was large enough for expanding the workshop.
Xue Li Dan Ni was confused. After a long while she asked in a dumb voice: "Are you driving us away?"
"If you don't want to move, I can take Xiao Yi to live there." Xue Zi Xuan changed his shoes, walked into the living room, saw Xue Jing Yi curled up on the sofa, and added: "That's right, I contacted a Swiss nursing home. The conditions are very nice. You guys send her away in a few days."
Xue Jing Yi nearly smashed the TV remote control in her hand, and Xue Li Dan Ni jumped like thunder.
"You're crazy! Not only are you sending us away, but you also want to send your little sister away? Are you heartless, huh? Go, go to the hospital with me, I'll have the doctor look you over, see if I forgot to give you a heart when I birthed you."
As she spoke, Xue Li Dan Ni began to cry. She couldn't bear any more changes. Xue Jing Yi hurried to her side and hugged her to comfort her. She stared at her elder brother with tearful eyes and wailed: "Brother, don't send me away, okay? How can I live alone abroad? Are you trying to push me to my death?"
Xue Zi Xuan was unmoved and went upstairs with his briefcase.
When Zhou Yun Sheng returned to the Xue manor, he was greeted by the resentful eyes of Xue Li Dan Ni and Xue Jing Yi. He arched an eyebrow in surprise, but did not ask anything, and swayed up the stairs to the second floor.
Xue Li Dan Ni was struck speechless by his unconcerned attitude: "If we had known earlier that things would turn out like this, then we would not have brought him here back then. Your father and I originally wanted to save you, but how could we have foreseen that we would harm you instead, and also harm your brother."
Xue Jing Yi had completely calmed down. Perhaps because of too much stimulation lately, she clearly felt that her mental capacity was getting stronger and stronger. If it were in the past and she heard that her brother was going to send her away, she would have passed out in agony long ago, but now she was sitting peacefully, and she could even grasp the key points of Xue Mother's words.
"Save me? How could he save me?"
A terrible but extremely longing thought crossed Xue Jing Yi's mind.
Xue Li Dan Ni realized that she had let her tongue slip. How could she talk about this bloody topic in front of her daughter? She promptly looked left and right, trying to deceive her daughter.
But Xue Jing Yi was determined to figure it out. She clutched the back of Xue Mother's hand tightly and with gritted teeth she asked: "Mom, tell me, please you must tell me the truth. You guys brought Huang Yi back, is it to, is it to change my heart?"
The last three words were said very lightly, but they were also very heavy words, which made Xue Li Dan Ni tremble involuntarily.
Her daughter has already guessed the situation. Xue Li Dan Ni could only confess the truth, including how she and her husband had looked for the teenager, how they intended to deal with his identity, how their son obstructed them, and finally how they settled the matter by leaving it unsettled.
After she finished talking, she covered her eyes with her hands and dared not look at her daughter's expression. She didn't want her to face this evil.
Yes. She had to admit that it was murder.
It was a sin.
She also had to admit that after being forced to give up by her son, what she felt was relief and not anger.
"Jing Yi, your dad and I will find another suitable heart for you. Back then we were muddleheaded. How could we think of doing this kind of thing? He, he is your only blood-related relative in this world after all…"
The more Xue Li Dan Ni talked, the more she felt guilty.
Humans were precisely like this.
When their hearts were blinded, they would dare to do anything. But after putting in all of their effort to complete their goal and they reflect back on their actions, they could not find relief.
In the end, Xue Li Dan Ni was not Xue Rui, she could not be completely ruthless. When she thought about how she had once intended to murder the teenager, all the anger and resentment in her heart slowly dissipated instead. Forget it, just take it as she owed him, and now they have settled the debt.
Thinking of it like she, she quickly calmed down, picked up the key her son had left on the coffee table, and really planned to move to the mountainside.
Seeing her daughter's still blank look, she reassured: "Jing Yi, don't be afraid. I've already discussed it with your father. This time, we will find a heart for you through the proper channels. I will never do anything illegal. Don't put such a heavy psychological burden on yourself. Didn't we end up not doing anything (to him)? Just look at Huang Yi. He eats well, dresses well, lives well, and he also has your brother to care for him. It could be considered as our Xue family compensating him. You don't have to go to Switzerland. You can move to the Royal Court with me. The conditions there are no worse than here."
Xue Jing Yi perfunctorily responded with "en, en, ah, ah," but in actually she wasn't listening anymore. There was only one thought in her mind—as it turned out, her hope for survival had always been close at hand; so Huang Yi's heart actually belonged to her!
Zhou Yun Sheng returned to the room and saw the handsome young man sitting on the sofa looking through some documents.
He asked curiously: "You did something to Aunt Xue and Xue Jing Yi? When they looked at me, their expressions were terrible, as if they were going to eat me."
"Come here." Xue Zi Xuan spread his arms and chuckled. "Don't worry about them."
Zhou Yun Sheng obediently walked over, shucked off his slippers, and curled up in Xue Zi Xuan's arms. He found a snug place to sit and picked at the threads on the sofa for a bit.
Finally he pulled out a twelve-by-twelve Rubik's cube and fiddled with it in concentration. As a matter of fact, he didn't care about the Xue family's lousy happenings.
Xue Zi Xuan tightened his hold around the youth's waist and said plainly: "I plan to move my father and mother to live elsewhere, and send Xue Jing Yi to Switzerland for treatment. Only we will live here in the future. Do you think that's good?"
"A world with only two people? Of course it's good." Zhou Yun Sheng nodded absently.
Little did he know that his joking words caused Xue Zi Xuan to be in a good mood, which led to the young man taking him by the jaw and kissing him.
The two often kissed, but only on the cheek, forehead, etc. Kissing on the lips or a wet kiss with tongue, like lovers, Xue Zi Xuan still did not dared to be rash. Thus, Zhou Yun Sheng accepted it very frankly, and even took the initiative to lean his head to facilitate the young man's movements.
After kissing for a long while, the young man continued to process the documents and the youth continued to play with the Rubik's cube.
Within half a minute, Zhou Yun Sheng solved the Rubik's cube. He jumped off the sofa, dragged his toolbox over, and prepared to assemble a Transformer. He half lay on the sofa. While tightening the screws he straightened out his legs and placed them in Xue Zi Xuan's arms.
Perhaps he was enthusiastic, he began to hum. His feet swayed from side to side, following the melody.
This was a pain for Xue Zi Xuan, because the place where the teenager's heels were pressed was precisely his most sensitive and fragile crotch.
"Xiao Yi, don't make trouble." He reminded in a suppressed voice.
Zhou Yun Sheng turned a deaf ear on him. He felt that the soles of his feet were somewhat uncomfortable and even lightly rubbed them twice.
Just like that, a spark of flame became a prairie fire and completely burned away Xue Zi Xuan's rational.
Just like that, a spark of flame became a prairie fire and completely burned away Xue Zi Xuan's rational. He caught the teenager by his slender ankle and pulled him from the sofa into his arms. He restrained the back of Zhou Yun Sheng's head with one hand and circled the youth's waist with the other. Then he kissed him deeply.
This was a wet kiss, and also a French kiss with tongue. The slippery tongue drilled into the mouth cavity and pried open the teeth, stunning Zhou Yun Sheng for a moment.
While the teenager was distracted, Xue Zi Xuan quickly deepened the kiss. He changed the angle to lick both the top and bottom of Zhou Yun Sheng's mouth. Then he wrapped his tongue and lips, sucking carefully in a slow grinding motion.
[T/N: Don't ask me about the logistics of their actions, I just translate what is on the page. ∑(O∆O)]
After the gentle temptation, he plundered wildly, swallowing the fluid in the teenager's mouth and gradually taking away his breath little by little. When the teenager was about to faint, he suddenly withdrew his lips and tongue. He waited for the teenager to open his mouth to gasp for breath and abruptly attacked again.
Xue Zi Xuan's wild and unrestrained kisses were driving Zhou Yun Sheng mad. He moaned sweetly, his body twisted lightly in struggle, and both of his hands were pressed against the other's chest. It was like he wanted to push the other person away, and at the same time it was like he wanted to pull the other person close.
Zhou Yun Sheng was kissed until his consciousness became fuzzy. A silver thread (of saliva) dripped slowly from the corner of his mouth, which he could not seem to close. He looked extremely debauched.
This was the person who Xue Zi Xuan had been pining after for two lifetimes. It was once a most beautiful, charming, and gentle dream that he had yearned for. At the same time, it was the most painful and intolerable wait.
When he could not have him, he could only choose to guard him silently, but now the person was in his arms. With his blushing cheeks and misty eyes, he looked so lovely and attractive. How could Xue Zi Xuan be willing to let go?
Xue Zi Xuan has never been a saint with high moral character. One way to look at it was that he lacked empathy and morality, but in fact he was a demon. He patiently guarded the youth, and drew him closer one step at a time.
When the teenager took the initiative to pounce forward, what could he do? Naturally, it could only be to accept with open arms.
He held the teenager in his arms and rolled onto the floor. He continued to intensely wind his lips and tongue around the other's mouth, not giving the teen the time to clear his head, and even more, to not let him resist.
He did not have any experience, whether it was in his last life or in this life. The only fantasies he had were of the youth. In those countless empty and painful dark nights, he relied on those rich, intense, and enticing emotions to numb his mind.
So even though he has never practiced it before, he knew how to arouse the youth's lust, how to bring him pleasure, and how to seduce the other into depravation with him.
Zhou Yun Sheng felt his clothes being ripped off, his pants being taken off, and his stiff place was pulled out and held in someone's palm. The hand rubbed him, alternating tempo between fast and slow. He wanted to stop it, but his head was dizzy, and his body was soft.
No! He tried to shout. He parted his lips and a sweet and sticky moan came out.
Go away! He tried to shove. His arm stretched out, but it straightforwardly wrapped around the young man's neck instead. He was like a cub without anyone to rely on as he drilled into that embrace.
Accompanying each other day and night, he had already unwittingly become accustomed to the young man's proximity. He was accustomed to the young man's hugs, and even accustomed to his careful and affectionate* kisses. Slowly, he gave up resistance, and put all of his mind into the sensation of ultimate pleasure.
[*T/N: 缱绻 qian quan: in love and inseparable]
Xue Zi Xuan noticed that the teenager was softening up, and he melted like sweet cream in his arms. This feeling was so wonderful that he couldn't help laughing, as he tasted every inch of the youth.
While laughing he sucked ravenously on the teenager's brilliant red lips. Then he lifted his waist slightly and took out his large swollen hard object and rubbed it together with the teenager's thing.
Both of their clothes were rumpled and in disorder, and their four limbs intertwined. In accordance with each other's rhythm, they pumped their hips together, making "gurgling" watery sounds.
This was also Zhou Yun Sheng's first time, and very soon, he came. With hazy, unfocused eyes he looked up at the handsome young man that was pressing him down.
Xue Zi Xuan kissed his thick eyelashes passionately, and the speed of his rubbing got faster and faster. The hard thing slipped again and again into the seam of the butt, but it kept hovering at the entrance, as if it was trying to sound things out, but also as if it was waiting to gather enough momentum for action.
Right at this moment, the door was pushed open and there was Xue Jing Yi standing at the doorway. Her hands went up to her mouth as she shrieked.
"Shit!" Xue Zi Xuan muttered. He quickly wrapped the teenager in his coat, turned his back, and pulled up his pants.
[T/N: "Shit!" was written in English in the raws. XD]
"Do you know how to write the word 'manners'?" Zhou Yun Sheng also recovered quickly and stood up very naturally and confidently. Using the suit jacket as a cover, he put on his pants. The buttons on the white shirt were all torn off by the young man's (XZX) impatience. He opened the wardrobe and randomly chose a sweatshirt to cover up. Finally, he glared fiercely at the culprit.
[*T/N: In Chinese, people ask: "Do you know how to write the word ___?" to ask if you understand the concept of that word, with an underlying meaning of you don't have that quality. In this case, it would be a lack of manners.]
The eyes of the teenager after being washed by lust were wet and bright. No matter how ferocious the glare was it was as touching as if it were a flirting gaze.
Xue Zi Xuan's heart itched so much that it was unbearable, and his lower abdomen tightened. He pulled the youth into his arms and kissed him hard. This time, it wasn't on the forehead or cheeks, but a real French kiss. After kissing, he even licked the youth's red and swollen lips as if he still wished to continue kissing.
Xue Jing Yi's entire body was unsteady. She wanted to cry but didn't. Like the twittering of birds, she asked in a whisper: "What were you two doing just now? What, what is your relationship?"
Xue Li Dan Ni heard the noise and ran upstairs. She saw her son's swollen crotch and then she saw the clearly ravaged teenager. Her face distorted in an instant.
"Zi Xuan, the rumors circulating outside are true? Are you with him? Are you gay?" She was ashamed to say the last word.
Zhou Yun Sheng was not anxious at all. He was the model of a hedonist. Sleeping with a high quality person like Xue Zi Xuan, he did not feel like he was losing out at all.
As for outsiders' judgments, why should he care? Appetite and lust were only natural. He was only following human instincts. There was nothing to be ashamed of.
He went behind Xue Zi Xuan, wrapped his hands around that slender waist, and poked half of his head out. He seemed very frightened, but in actuality he was secretly laughing. He wanted to see how Xue Zi Xuan handled this situation.
Xue Zi Xuan turned his head to kiss the teenager. His expression was soft. But when he looked at Xue Mother and Xue Jing Yi, his eyes were cold and hard.
"Sit down."
He pointed to a chair on the opposite side. As for himself, he hugged the teenager and sat on a narrow upholstered armchair. With one hand he held the teenager's bare feet and slowly kneaded it. With his other hand he took out a cigarette and put it into his mouth.
Zhou Yun Sheng very tacitly took out a lighter from his jacket pocket and carefully lighted the cigarette.
Xue Zi Xuan exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said prudently: "I didn't intend to hide this from you. More precisely, I didn't intend to hide this from anyone. Xiao Yi and I are indeed in love."
Zhou Yun Sheng absolutely did not expect that Xue Zi Xuan would chose to come out of the closet, and he even said that he was in love with him. Can he not be so shameless?
All right, he did intentionally played along with him ambiguously. All this time, he thought it was a game. But it would seem that he was wrong. He had the mentality of playing a game when he interacted with the young man, but the other party obviously took it seriously.
He wanted to deny, but Xue Jing Yi's sharp outcry interrupted him.
"How can a man and a man be together? Furthermore, he is also an adopted child of the Xue family. Brother, you two are incest! If this spreads, what will others say about you, say about the Xue family?"
Zhou Yun Sheng immediately withdrew the idea of rebuttal. He was very happy to make Xue Jing Yi unhappy and to make the Xue family restless. So what if he was scolded or cursed by others? It was not like it would strip off a layer of his flesh. Thinking this way, he took the initiative to embrace the young man's neck, and got a low chuckle from the young man in return.
Nothing could make Xue Zi Xuan more happy than getting the teenager's approval and responses. He has imagined these scenes countless times, and today all have become reality. He could kiss the teenager without restraint, hug the teenager, even possess him completely, and then announce to the world—this was his.
He took a drag on the cigarette, carefree. With a mocking smile, he said: "I never cared about what others thought, and of course, I never cared about what you guys think. Don't make trouble with me, and definitely do not disturb Xiao Yi. It's useless."
In this life, no one could thwart his pursuit of happiness. Otherwise, he would go mad and take revenge indiscriminately.
He stared straight at Xue Li Dan Ni and said slowly, "Especially you, Mother, if you're not afraid of people saying that the son of renowned violinist Ms. Xue is gay, then go ahead and try to do something to Xiao Yi."
All of Xue Li Dan Ni's crazy ideas disappeared because of this sentence. Yes, she loved face, and strove for perfection in everything, including honor and fame. This was her biggest weakness.
The previous rumors forced her to recognized Huang Yi's adopted child status. If there were another scandal, she would become the laughing stock of high society. That was the equivalent of having her streak naked in front of everyone, making her feel ashamed, and wanting to die instead of live.
"I will move out today. I won't make trouble, so you don't make trouble, and save some face for yourself and for the Xue family."
After saying this, she walked away without looking back.
Xue Jing Yi shouted "Mom" twice, but did not get a response, and finally she realized that there was no one in this family who could stop her brother anymore.
They were both adopted children. So why was the person he fell in love with not her? It should not have been this way!
Xue Zi Xuan extinguished his cigarette. His expression was enigmatic. The semi-threatening words before were just perfunctory, and not his original intention. He had never thought of hiding his feelings. On the contrary, he wished that he could declare it to the entire world.
But his beloved teenager was right by his side. If he were determined to go at it with his mother, the teenager would be forced to bear too much pressure. He was still so young. He deserved to live more carefree and without worries.
So he took a shot and sent Xue Mother and Xue Father away first. All the rumors, objections, and pressure in the future would be borne by him alone.
There was still a matter in his heart and he was somewhat impatient. He saw Xue Jing Yi still dawdling in the room, unwilling to leave. He said coldly: "Go back and pack your things, I will send you to Switzerland tomorrow."
Xue Jing Yi wiped away her tears and floated away like a wandering spirit. When she got to the door, she turned around, and her sharp, knife-like eyes pierced the teenager's chest hard, as if she were going to dig out his heart.
Zhou Yun Sheng was sharp and instantly caught this trace of murderous intent. He could not help but arch a brow, wondering if she knew something. But before he could investigate, Xue Jing Yu had withdrew her gaze and turned to leave.
Then he looked at the young man and asked: "When did we fall in love with each other?"
Xue Zi Xuan leisurely helped him put on a pair of white socks, and muttered: "Always have been. Furthermore, it was on the premise of marriage."
If he were drinking water at this time, Zhou Yun Sheng would definitely spray it out. He choked for a long time before criticizing: "Don't talk nonsense. When did I promise to marry you? Same-sex marriage in China is not protected by law!"
"Then we will change our nationality and find a country that recognizes gay marriage. I can transfer Xue's consortium abroad."
Xue Zi Xuan's light tone of voice was the same as if he were talking about trivial matters, and not about immigration, transferring assets, etc, these matters of vital life-changing importance.
The fact of the matter was that for him these were really nothing. In his previous life, he was suppressed by Xue Yan and unable to gain a foothold in China. The Xue consortium was also beaten down. As a last resort, he changed his nationality and transferred his assets abroad.
Now that he was reborn again, he was sincerely thankful for the suffering and displacement of his previous life. It made him strong and at the same time gave him the ability to protect the teenager.
So say, he did lose really poorly in his last life. In the face of family coercion, he could only make concessions and compromise again and again. This life was different. He would never repeat the same mistakes.
Zhou Yun Sheng looked deeply into the eyes of the young man and found that there was only firmness and passion in it, without perfunctory and jokes, and finally determined that what he said was true.
If he said that his heart was not moved at all, that would be impossible.
This warm feeling, this wide and warm embrace, has always been his deepest hidden desire.
But he could not forget the young man's original intention for bringing him back to the Xue family, and he could not believe his sudden and unrequited love. If he blindly placed his hopes on him, he feared that sooner or later he would be disappointed, and even sink into despair. The young man has planned a future for them, but in his future, the young man did not exist.
In the end, he still did not believe him. Or rather, he did not dare to believe him.
Zhou Yun Sheng stroked his eyelids, dared not face the young man who appeared so sincere at this moment, whispered a "I'm going to the computer room," and then fled.
Staring at the teenager's hastily retreating back, Xue Zi Xuan thought that he was scared by the passion just now. He smiled, a helpless smile full of love.
